Story4.5 out of 5 stars 98
While evangelicalism dukes it out about who can be church leaders, the rest of the 98 percent of us need to be well equipped to see where we fit in God's household and why that matters. Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood is a resource to help church leaders improve the culture of their church and disciple men and women in their flock to read, understand, and apply Scripture to their lives in the church. Until both men and women grow in their understanding of their relationship to Scripture, there will continue to be tension between the sexes in the church.

She Misses the point
- By Molly on 06-25-20
Her Errors Show Why Women Souldn't Speak In Church
Reviewed: 07-02-23
The argumentation in the book is nothing short of horrible. On the one hand, she grasps at conjecture after conjecture to stretch to a possibility only to apply it as factual. Then on the other hand, runs over, disregards, and explains away clear text that contradicts her position. Seriously this book is horrible and her handling of the text is an act of criminal malpractice. The one redeeming virtue of the book is the ironic point that the author, by her inept mishandling of Scripture, actually proves the opposite of her argument; namely that God was right to forbid women from teaching the Bible but to be silent in church and if they are to learn anything, let them ask their husband's at home (1 Cor 14). The author should have stayed silent and asked her husband at home and not taken upon herself to abuse Scripture publicly in a book such as this.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,258
Biblical womanhood - the belief that God designed women to be submissive wives, virtuous mothers, and joyful homemakers - pervades North American Christianity. From choices about careers to roles in local churches to relationship dynamics, this belief shapes the everyday lives of evangelical women. Yet biblical womanhood isn't biblical, says Baylor University historian Beth Allison Barr. It was born in a series of clearly definable historical moments.

Story5 out of 5 stars 127
The subject of women in the church is both important and controversial. John MacArthur is not afraid of either. In this revised work, MacArthur examines what the Bible teaches in I Timothy 2:9-15. He discusses topics ranging from the attitude and appearance of women, to their role in and contribution to the church. God's High Calling for Women can be used alongside or apart from the audio series available from Grace to You in either a personal or group study.
